NICARAGUA. Managua. 

Susan Meiselas 

In 1978-79, the Sandinista revolution, led by the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN), took place in Nicaragua. Their aim was to overthrow the government of President Anastasio SOMOZA . They finally came to power in July 1979 after President SOMOZA had left the country. The Sandinistas then formed a coalition, the JGRN , composed of Moises HASSAN, Daniel ORTEGA, Sergio RAMIREZ, Violetta CHAMORRO and Alfonso ROBELO, to exercise power in the country.
